Before you write off the entire world of modern music, try staying off the TV & radio, avoid the big corporate labels and explore what a lot of the youthful, up and comers are doing on the tiny, maybe even local to you, recording studios.
At least around here and for the last bunch of years, there has been a lot of new artists returning to an emphasis on 'real songwriting' verses writing for the big record companies.
It might take some exploration, but it is out there. I won't make any recommendations because music is so subjective, I don't want you to negate my advice just because you don't like the genre roads I might go down.
